Four Trojans compete in postseason tournaments

Henrique de Brito and Louis Boilevin competed at the ITA Conference Masters Championship as representatives of the Sun Belt Conference for doubles, while Luciano Alcocer and Gabriel Garay headed to the ITA Division I Men's Sectional Championship last week.

Sectionals were held in Tallahassee, Florida, while masters took place in Rome, Georgia.

"I'm super excited to go to this postseason event," said head coach Rolando Vargas. "Nobody gets to choose to go to something like this; you have to earn it and these players did that.

“I know we're very grateful for that. Our guys get to go and play against some of the top teams in the nation. We get a chance to go there and fight for every point. We've shown the capability to go out and beat anyone we face, so it's a true honor to represent the Sun Belt.”

On Thursday, day one, de Brito and Boilevin won 3-6, 7-6 (5), 10-5 against Longwood's Marc Ferrando Farras and Rodrigo Guijarro Martin in the Round of 32, advancing to the Round of 16.

Over in Florida, Alcocer and Garay claimed their court, 6-1, 4-6, 10-6, against the top-seeded Georgia's duo of Gabriele Vulpitta and Andrew Delgado to secure a spot in the quarterfinals.

While both advances marked one step closer to finals, the advantage didn’t last long.

For day two, de Brito, Boilevin, Alcocer and Garay fell in doubles matches of tournament play, officially ending Troy men's tennis fall 2026 season.

De Brito and Boilevin lost 2-6, 6-7 (1) to Cal Poly's Jovan Lubbe and Leo Matthysen in the ITA Conference Masters Championship Round of 16.

On another court, Alcocer and Garay competed against Mississippi's Niccolo Baroni and Stefan Vedovelli in the ITA DI Men's South Sectional Championships quarterfinals, but fell 2-6, 4-6 by the end of the match.

After the Trojans’ postseason run, the team is 49-24 overall based on matchups in the UTR College Invitational, ITA Regionals, Mercer Tournament and ITA All-American Championships.

Ryusei Miyazato serves as the team’s leader in singles play, with an overall 11-1 record. Boilevin follows second with an overall 8-4 record.

Pair de Brito and Boilevin remain in the lead for the Trojans for doubles play with an overall 6-3 record after postseason play.

Troy men’s tennis will be back on the court next year for its spring 2027 season.
